    Just thought I’d bring this back - guess who took her codeine too early so fell asleep way to early and is now wide wake 😂
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    heyyy am I allowed to bring this back up? I get scared to make my own threads these days keep deleting them lol

    anyway since a lot of people have messed up their sleeping patterns through lockdown it can feel lonely at night so thought this is good for a general chat or support

    Ahh @Shaunie ! I keep telling myself that too haha. I've set an alarm for 6.30 tomorrow though. I really want to try and have a walk and see the sunrise. I've been feeling really unmotivated recently so I think that's a bit of self care n' all that :tongue:

    Comedies. Anything that Is easy watching that I don’t have to use my brain so much makes me feel clever lol.  I recommend watching back to life. That’s quite funny in it’s own way. 
    Atm I’m watching it’s kind of a funny story. Literally 2 mins in and it’s triggering Af already lol 
    he’s suicidal

    Oh yes I really need to sort my sleep out too :joy: I’m not doing too bad at the moment going to bed at about 1am and waking up at 9 ish, but any moment now (maybe tonight because I’m not remotely tired) I’m going to stay up really late again and then wake up late and that will be that lol.

    @Shaunie trouble is I have no real reason to keep that routine, so I always let it slip. I can keep a better routine for a couple of days then I just sleep all day again loll

    @Shaunie these are some that I found funny:

    - the let down 
    - drifters
    - dead to me
    - the IT crowd
    - fresh meat 
    - the job lot
    - insatiable
    - Derry girls
    - after life
    - can’t cope won’t cope
